In this role, you will help ensure that our motion sensing hardware meet our users’ needs through rigorous systems engineering analysis and robust systems architectures. You will translate top-level requirements into guidance for module and system integration teams. The models you develop and curate will help our team derive accurate requirements for our motion sensor modules, and provide quantitative guidance as we navigate system integration challenges across Apple’s entire product portfolio..
You will be a feature architect, responsible for proving that motion sensing hardware capabilities meet feature requirements. You will provide the quantitative link between hardware specifications and the end-user feature figures of merit. Core responsibilities include:Create and validate quantitative end-to-end models of sensors, systems, and algorithms; the models should capture the entire signal chain—physical, electrical, and algorithmic—to streamline algorithm prototyping and guarantee performance in high-volume productionIdentify and translate customer user experience into hardware level performance evaluation metricsAnalyze trade-offs to provide guidance to module and system integration teamsPerform impact analyses to assess proposed requirement & specification changesDetermine the sensitivity of user-facing features to variation in sensor specificationsPredict the impact of new technologies by performing design studiesSpecify data collections to validate models and collect representative user dataAuthor high quality and thorough engineering requirements specificationsPrepare and deliver presentations to clearly communicate technical status, risks and mitigation strategies for ongoing sensing system programsWork cross-functionally with algorithm and feature development teams
- BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
- PhD and 5+ years of hands-on experience and proven track record in motion sensor (IMU, magnetometer, or pressure sensor) and/or sensing system development
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and solid teamwork and leadership skills
- Experience in architecture, design, characterization, and validation of motion sensor or sensing technology that includes theory of operation, signal processing, fabrication, packaging and design trade-offs
- Deep understanding of electrical or mechanical engineering, transducer physics, and system engineering
- Good understanding of motion sensing technologies, such as MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, and magnetic sensing technology
